Macroeconomic Subscriptions

We produce some of Australia’s most closely watched economic indicators – periodic reports that track macroeconomic trends. These indicators often shift before official ABS releases, making them valuable for early trend detection.

Data from the CASiE Survey is used to compile the Melbourne Institute and the Westpac-Melbourne Institute macroeconomic reports. Learn more about CASiE here.

The CASiE Survey team regularly collates this data from their statistical measures of the Australian economy into our Time Series Data, which is regularly updated and available in Excel format. View the full list here.

Subscribing to our macroeconomic reports ensures you receive timely, reliable insights into the evolving Australian economy – helping you stay ahead of changes in consumer behaviour, inflation, labour markets and broader economic conditions
